Light, Dark, Light Again

Light, Dark, Light Again by Sydney-based artist Chrystal Rimmer 

ABOUT THE ARTIST:

Residing in Gadigal (Sydney) Chrystal Rimmer’s practice explores the confluence of nature, trash, and entropy. Rimmer's practice draws on speculative narratives of future geologies and ecosystems, investigating the ways in which waste and detritus function as symbols of resilience. Through the poetic use of ‘waste’ materials, Rimmer challenges traditional notions of object and subject, dissolving nostalgic ideologies to contemplate a more inclusive understanding of nature.

Rimmer completed a Bachelor of Fine Arts at The National Art School, Sydney in 2015 and was awarded the Aboriginal Internship Residency Program. On graduation her Masters of Fine Arts in 2019, Rimmer was awarded the prestigious Lift Off Award which fully funded two international residencies including Miet AIR in Beers, The Netherlands where she continued her study of plastic waste and explored the material properties of recycled aluminium. In addition she undertook a research residency with Sail Britain across the remote Western Isles of Scotland collecting data samples and collaborating with academics on the effects of micro plastics on bodies of water and the species that inhabit them.
